| Whatcha makin? --> | Old Fashioned Play Dough Recipe | |

2 Cups of Flour. |
|

| Whatcha makin? --> | GOOP |
| Stuff you will need --> | 1 1/2 cups of warm
water 2 1/2 cups of corn starch Green food coloring |
| How ya gonna do it? --> | Put the water in a bowl and add food coloring. Add the starch one cup at a time until thick. It will look wet, watch it coagulate. The kids will be amazed when they discover that all it takes is the touch of their hands to bring it back to liquid form. I use this stuff in my classroom and the children love it! One added bonus is that it lasts forever, even if you forget to cover it. As far as I know it doesn't damage clothes or carpet. But as with all things the children should be supervised. |
| Whatcha makin? --> | Decorative Dye |
| Stuff you will need --> | 1 Container with a lid 1 Tablespoon rubbing alcohol Food Coloring |
| How ya gonna do it? --> | Color rice, macaroni, or pasta with this easy dye recipe. In a small tightly lidded container, put one tablespoon of rubbing alcohol and 6 drops of food coloring. Place the objects to be dyed into the mixture and secure the lid. Shake the container gently for about 1 minute. Spread the dyed objects on a paper towel to dry. If you dye noodles with large openings your children can string them and make necklaces or bracelets, ect... You can also dye rice or sand and make beautiful art projects. Use your imagination! Or better yet, let your child use theirs. |
| Whatcha makin? --> | Bathroom Finger Paint |
| Stuff you will need --> | 1/4 cup non-abrasive household
cleanser (such as Bon Ami) 1 Paper cup Water and Food Coloring |
| How ya gonna do it? --> | First pour your cleanser into the paper cup. Add enough water to make a thick paste. Then add the food coloring and mix thoroughly. This will make a 1/4 cup. Give the paint to your child to play with in the bathtub. This paint is great for making artistic creations on the shower wall and tub. The best part is that the clean-up is simple! Just wash it down the drain and it will take the bathtub ring with it! A word of caution....this does contain a product that would be harmful if swallowed. Do not leave children unattended while in use and use only with children of appropriate age. |
